Never remove the Lid while the Baby Food Maker is operating (Power Indicator Light is illuminated). Warning: Hot water and steam may cause serious injury and burns; keep hands away from hot surfaces and steam vents. Risk of scalding.
Before first use, wash the Blender Jar, Blade Assembly, Steaming Basket, and the Lid with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Do not submerge the Base, Power Cord or  Plug as there is a risk of electric shock and permanent damage to the appliance.

Register your product at Dualit.com Which will only take 60 seconds. You will need the product model and serial number that are on the rating label on the base of the product.

Position the Baby Food Maker Base on a flat dry surface away from sources of heat, as close to the wall socket as possible. Do not store or use the Baby Food Maker under  kitchen cabinets, in an appliance garage, close to curtains, or flammable material as the Baby Food Maker will emit steam from the Steam Vents in the Lid.

Follow the assembly instructions on page 11.

Place ingredients into the Steaming Basket so they are evenly distributed across the Steaming Rack (max 300g). Do not overfill as this will result in undercooked food. Note: Do not process a large quantity of solid ingredients at the same time or pack food tightly into the Steaming Basket. Process the ingredients in a series of small batches.

UNPLUGGED AND ALLOWED TO COOL. Dualit recommends cleaning your Baby Food Maker after every use. Do not submerge the Base, Power Cord or plug into
water or other liquid, or position under a water tap. Do not use sharp, abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents, bleach or scouring pads to clean the Baby Food
Maker. The use of such cleaning implements may affect the life of the Baby Food Maker. When not in use, clean and dry the Baby Food Maker and store in a cool, dry place. Unplug the Baby Food Maker from the mains and allow to cool down completely before cleaning.

Remove the Blade Assembly from the Blender Jar following instructions on page 14. Caution: The blade is sharp, risk of injury.

Remove the Seal from the Steaming Basket before cleaning as food can build  up behind the Seal. Always replace the Seal after cleaning. Caution: Do not operate without the Seal in place, risk of undercooked food. Clean all surfaces of the Blender Jar, Steaming Basket, Seal, Steaming Rack and Lid with either washing up liquid and a damp, soft cloth or on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

Wipe the external surfaces of the Base with washing up liquid and a damp, soft cloth. Caution: Do not use sharp articles or metal tools to touch the Hot Plate as it may cause electric shock.

CLEANING THE BLADE ASSEMBLY

Clean the Blade Assembly after every use as food can build up under the blade on the Blade Assembly. Caution: A dirty blade will contaminate food that you make in the future.

Remove the Blade Assembly  from the Blender Jar following instructions on page 14. Caution: The blade is sharp, risk ofinjury.

Rinse the Blade Assembly and Blade Seal under a tap while carefully using the Cleaning Brush to clean under the blades with soap suds until all food remnants are removed. Once the food residue has been removed, the Blade Assembly can sit in the top shelf of the dish washer. Dry the Blade Assembly with a lint-free cloth. Allow to fully dry before replacing back into the Blender Jar.

Warning: Do not operate the Baby Food Maker unless the blade is securely in position.
Caution: The blade is sharp, risk of injury. Always hold the Blade Assembly by the Blade Hub. 

**DESCALE REGULARLY

**

Important Notice: Product failure due to the build-up of limescale is not covered by the guarantee.

The Baby Food Maker needs to be descaled regularly. As a minimum, it is recommended that you descale your Baby Food Maker once a month in soft water areas, every 21 days in medium water areas and every 14 days in hard water areas. You can check your water hardness with your water provider. Wear rubber gloves. Do not use on marble surfaces. Do not put the descaler bottle down on work surfaces. Wipe descaler bottle after use.

Unplug the Baby Food  Maker from the mainland allow to cool down completely before descaling.

Pour just-boiled water into the Blender Jar up to the max marker, then add 50ml of Kilrock Espresso & Coffee Machine Descaler. This can be purchased on Dualit.com.  caution: Be aware of splashing. Risk of scalding and chemical inhalation. TIP – To minimise limescale
build up in your Baby Food Maker; empty the Baby Food Maker after each use, do not allow water to stand in the Baby Food Maker overnight, use filtered water
instead of tap water. 

Leave to stand for 20 minutes.

Pour away the solution, wipe around the surface with a cloth and rinse well by pouring clean water into the Blender Jar and blending for 10 seconds. Rinse the Blender Jar a minimum of three times. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE INJURY. DO NOT TURN THE CONTROL DIAL TO THE STEAM COOK FUNCTION WITH DESCALING SOLUTION IN IT.

RECIPES

When first starting your baby on solid foods, it is best to begin with vegetables over fruits, as the fruit is sweet and a preferred taste for babies after months of only drinking sweeter milk. Get them enjoying more savoury flavours first, then introduce the tastier foods later down the line once the weaning journey is established. This can help keep fussy eating at bay and ensure your baby continues with vegetables and different flavours and textures as they get older.
Single-ingredient purées are a good way to begin as it allows your baby the option of trying all the different flavours individually first before you slowly introduce new foods. Feeding ingredients one at a time also helps you to spot any allergies. When you are ready, start introducing different flavours using spices. Keep the meals varied and exciting for your baby and encourage them to be more adventurous.
With the ability to manually control the Blend Function process, you can make food suitable for babies first purées through to bigger meals with thicker, lumpier textures.
